I love Pokken!
Anyone else noticed that Flashback Oliver is starting to behave more like GA Oliver?
Great episode. I really liked the slow burn and the quieter scenes with pretty much the whole cast.
The posing-as-Canary scenes were pretty obvious in a "this is meant to be heartfelt" sort of way, but I still liked them, we got to see some cool moments with Lance who has felt like a third wheel all season.
Fucking knew DJ Douche would be up to shenanigans!

I love that they aren't even subtle with the name. They know they're drawing a whole lot from The Dark Knight Rises and aren't afraid to show it.

Wasn't Oliver's wound right under his right pectoral and not through his belly?

Good episode. I'm happy to see Laurel finally get a chance to prove herself.
god, i hope so.
lol that's cool though, so is the show. in a good way.And I must day, Arrow's on a roll. After a rough start this season this is the fifth awesome episode in the row.
Oliver's name might be Queen, but he's the King of comicbook shows
(God, that;s cheesy)
i was thinking something similar when thea was saying she wasn't affraid of ras
-------------------------
i really like tonight's ep.
although i hate they aren't telling cheasthair his daughter is dead, it's reallt cruel. even if well meaning.

It's gone on so long it's bordering on comical. I get the feeling they might tell him next episode though, but maybe they'll never tell him.
Maybe he'll only find out after she gets Lazarus'd (speculation) and it won't matter except he'll still feel hurt and we'll get more Lance family drama. And then he'll have a heart attack and die.

It's continuation of Arrow taking elements from Nolan's trilogy and making them vastly better.

That was a great episode! Damn good stuff.
- Laurel becoming the Black Canary was good. She got her ass kicked. A lot. But! She showed promise. A lot of promise. A rocky-yet-good start to her vigilante career. I bet this actually will have the effect of lightening her up a bit. Her playing with the recorder at the end against Brick was good. I want Felicity to wrangle her up some new gadgets. Or shit, may as well invite Ray to the Arrow cave and make them some shit.
- Roy became awesome?!?!? When the hell did this happen? How's this dude awesome all of a sudden?
- Lol, Digg. Now that you're not anyone's relationship counselor, you're just plain old frustrated, ain't ya?
- I love Routh as Ray Palmer. This dude is killing it. Can't wait for him to break out the ATOM suit.
- Yay, Felicity is back on the time. Seemed so out of character to just ditch her friends cause of sadness. Eh.
- Vinnie Jones is so goddamn good as Brick. Dude's such a fucking lunatic, I love it. And he got the mayor to agree.
Weak-ass mayor. You don't negotiate with terrorists. At least in Gotham they called the fucking National Guard when the Joker was pulling shit. You didn't even bother.
WEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAK!
- Okay, seriously. Team Arrow fucking with Quentin like that is the douchiest thing I've ever seen in this show. You people are horrible! What the hell. This is gonna blow up in everyone's face like nobody's business. Laurel, you are being awful!
- Aw yeah, Flashback Ollie is turning into an OG. Loved the nightclub shootout. That was the Arrow version of a John Wick/Collateral/Max Payne moment. Good stuff.
- Poor Meseo and Katana. Their son bit it, huh? You know, if China White is responsible, why the fuck didn't Ollie bring this shit up when he ran into her in Season 1?
- And what the shit is Meseo playing at in present day? Stockholm Syndrome? A greater plan?
- DJ Douche is a League Plant! Everyone already knew this.

Both. Something fishy is going on. Maseo might have give him some lazarus pit's juice into chest wound. I mean, it looks like h asked his wife to come even before the duel. Seems like a big stretch to assume that Oliver will loose and yet Ra's will kill him in such a way that it won't be fatat.

I love that the next episode is basically The Dark Knight Rises.
AGAIN! Cause they did Dark Knight Rises in Season 2! Though maybe that was more of a The Dark Knight moment where Oliver/Bruce had doubts and then Team Arrow/Alfred convinced him that the city needed him.
But will pushups help heal a massive stab wound in the abdomen? I mean, they did heal Bruce's fucked up vertebrae in TDKR.
Can't wait for this moment in Uprising:
Though it wouldn't have the dramatic impact in the show that it did in the movie cause Oliver's only been gone like... a week!
The fuck? Is he metahuman now?

Seriously, them fucking with Quentin like that is FUCKED UP. Like, it goes beyond drama and is some fucked up horror movie drama shit.
What the hell.

I gotta give it to Katie Cassidy, she's had to act out some pretty cringe worthy moments and constantly has her character screwing up and making mistakes. It can't be easy, especially since she gets a lot of heat from the fandom too, lots of it unfairly IMO.
I hope her character will finally get some continuous positive screentime.
that what i was thinking.
but don't you have to be completely submerged in lazarus liquid for it to work. i'm not sure.
Yeah there better be an explanation for Ollie living, it's going to be complete bullshit if they just move on and have us accept, "yeah so he was on the verge of death but Maseo found him immediately and they patched up his wounds." Fuck it, I'd be done with the show completely if they pull that shit.

Every week Brandon Routh is not wrecking shit up in power armor is a waste. I never realized how huge he is until he stood next to Vinnie Jones, damn.
Damn. I actually liked Laurel today.
Her phone call to Lance with Sarah's voice was crushing and her second encounter with Brick was pretty cool, utilizing clever disattraction to save the aldermen and herself. I'm starting to get warm with her.
Still dislike Felicity though. Her encounters with Ray are funny and quirky, but that is on his checkbook.

I saw in one of the Emergency Awesome vids (YouTube comics/fantasy reviewer) that the actor J R Ramirez was cast in another series. So unfortunately any plans with him, if they had any, would have been scrapped.
i hope not. i think it could be a cool addition to arrow. or maybe laurel learns more from him and choses between him and oliver or some shit. i doubt they will just drop the character
i also dont think the lazarus pit is scrapped. ra's did say he's lived a bunch lives or whatever n shit. it IS in this universe and i dont think its just a fan thing. im sure it will be brought up later

I hope they won't do full on suit on Arrow. Maybe at most a short scene before they ship him out to Central City where he will fit a lot better

Caught up.
-Vinnie Jones is a god amongst men.
-Holy shit this secret that Laurel is keeping (and the rest of the team is now pushing to insane levels) is wearing on me, but I'm liking the build up to what I expect will be a very nice pay off. Still, it's wearing on me to the point where I kind of want Quentin Lance to die just so that painful reveal never gets brought up. Not sure I could handle it.

Man, Malcolm is so afraid of "Rozz" (looks like only Maseo says his name correctly). I hope that they play up how good Racial Ghoul is by having him beat Oliver, Malcolm, and Slade all together.
He is like Voldemord. He-who-must-not-be-pronounced-correctly.
Maseo: "Fear of the correct pronunciation only increases fear of the thing itself."

We don't even know that it's magic herbs.
We don't even know what it is.
We don't even know.
We don't know.
Besides, how is that any more or less dumb than a giant pit of gloop that's in the earth?
Because the magic gloop is an already established dc canon, random magic herbs would be a coup out.
Full on suit is fine. They refer to him as a "tech based hero" in interviews and I think that's cool. Ray obviously has no combat skills despite his impressive salmon laddering so he needs the crutch. When he starts shrinking, that's a bigger problem because it gets silly very fast.
But we do need one episode with this:

Everything in DC canon starts as a cop out. Especially anything involving resurrection. Plus, I refuse to believe that magic resurrection herbs have never popped up even once in the entirety of DC's existence.
I refuse.

I just don't think it fits with Arrow's more gritty aproach. That scene should happen, but let it happen in Flash during crossover

They used the herbs just to heal. What saved Oliver was supposedly the cold, which makes me think they're hiding something frm him.
Oliver Queen: By league law, I have the right to challenge you to a trail by combat.
Ra's al Ghul: It's been 67 years since a man challenged me. You covet death that much?
Because the *Giant Pit Of Gloop* Makes more sense then *Magic Herbs*, its a already established thing in the universe, Plus how do Explain Ra's Quote ? The Pit would make sense, but now hopefully they explain why he doesn't look so old given what he said or have a huge plot hole. Not like a giant healing pit would be so out there in this World now that Barry Zips around solving Crimes with Oliver.

I get your point, but it'd suck if the first time we see The Atom power out it's on The Flash. Ideally, if he's getting his own show, it'd be cool to see him shrink using his suit in The Pilot. Like how The Flash's first show of power was in The Flash - makes it more special.
And then we get the big four way.

Supersonic, idiotic, disconnecting, not respecting, who would really ever wanna go and top that
Fantastic episode, show is really paying off from all that build up we got in the beginning of the season.
